About the Department

The department of aeronautical engineering was established in the year 2007 to produce graduates with core knowledge and skills required by aeronautical industries and research institutes. India’s first and only aeronautical engineering programme to get tier (Washington Accord) Accreditation by NBA. The courses are taught with the industry associated experts from HAL, NAL, GTRE and ISRO. The Special laboratories like Aircraft Simulator lab, Rocket Motor Testing lab, High Speed Bearing test facility are the unique features for student to learn the emerging areas of research. The regular industrial visits and expert lectures from ISRO-SHAR, Sriharikotta , ISRO-VSSC Trivanthapuram, NAL & HAL Bangalore to enable the students to learn the recent advancement in space research. The Student work on developing modules for PICO SATELLITE which jointly supported by Vel Tech and Institution of Engineers (IEI).

High quality communication and interpersonal skills, broad knowledge, and an understanding of multicultural and global perspectives to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams, both as team members and as leaders.

Synthesize information / data from various sources of Aircraft Design and Operations.

Ability to apply mathematical and numerical skills to interpret and solve problems for Aircraft Design and for applying core knowledge in aerodynamics, structures, propulsion and power, and dynamics and control to formulate and solve problems in engineering, including the use of current experimental and data analysis techniques.

Ability to use aero labs and workshop equipment competently and safely as per Airworthiness standards.

Understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context

Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for aerospace engineering practice.

Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.

Ability to work collaboratively and creatively, and to communicate effectively, in applying discipline-specific knowledge in basic sciences and aeronautical engineering.

Ability to engage in life-long learning a knowledge of contemporary issues.

Vel Tech has always been a motivating factor in my life. As a person, I have positive outlook towards everything. Of course, things weren’t easy but I will give majority of the Credit to Vel Tech family for the support I received from them and the foundation they gave me at the right time.

During my bachelor’s, I was always keen on talking about current researches and opportunities with professors as I come from Aerospace background and everything about it fascinates me till date.

The efforts made by the management to maintain international relationship gave me highly updated technology with a good Internship experience in Fraunhofer IZFP, Germany which was one of the best things happened to my career as a beginner and now completing masters from a German and a Singaporean university in itself is creditable.

I would like to advice my fellow juniors, to grap the right opportunity and I am sure Vel Tech Family will always be there to encourage and support its students.
